Urgent questions

[Ian1980]

I am looking, as we will start an own farm soon, where to buy Chicken eggs(already fertilized)and cows in Korat. Thank you

[Crossy]

Can't help with sources (we're in BKK) but you can buy sexed (female) chooks at most of the farm markets (better option than eggs which you have to incubate and you could get 50-50 boys/girls).

 

Males are often free.

 

That said, one of the 10 "girls" we got a while back has grown up into a bruiser of a roo, he terrifies the gai-baan lads

For cows ,I take it you mean  beef and not dairy you could  try  Thai cattle auctions  ,not the same as ours  ,and not for the weary, especial if you do not speak Thai ,a lot has been wrote over the past few monthes about Thai cattle  auctions on cattle and buffalo

treads .

Or a better bet find someone rearing cattle and ask them thay will know of some for sale , and ask  about  cattle dealers there  will some  in your area , we have brought cattle from dealers , with out any problems.

There is a "group/page" on Facebook called "backyard chickens Thailand". If you join the group, you can ask them for contacts in or around Korat.

@Swelters had 30 water buffalo for sale near you and @Robert24 had 12 cows for sale in Kalasin. PM them?

 

Chickens, find a local CP contractor raising female chicks for battery farms. They'll sell you up to 100 or so. Try and get them at around 16 weeks just before they're collected to go to. You'll also be saving a few chickens from a crap life in a cage.

 

Otherwise go with Crossy's suggestion rather than having to incubate eggs.

 

@Crossy you got a RIR cockeral for sale?

@grollies Bruiser isn't for sale, he's not RIR anyway, just a huge white rooster.

@Crossy Bruiser, cool name. Named our RIR rooster 'Randi' rather optimistically as it turns out. He's quite old and impotent 555. Mind you we got him for free.......no wonder.
